Chapter 2504
As June was being stared at so intently by the two supreme beings, he felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. His back felt cold, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. He didn't even dare to breathe loudly. He could only force a smile and stand still—he dared not offend these two supreme beings.
After a brief standoff, the bald, fat old man was the first to relent, waving his hand with a helpless tone:
"If that's the case, then forget it. For your sake, and because these children are destined to be with you, we won't compete for Chen Xuan and the other four."
He paused, his gaze shifting to the charming, lively girl with curved eyes beside Chen Xuan. A hint of fondness flashed in his eyes. He softened his tone, as if asking the Moon Supreme, or perhaps seeking the girl's opinion:
"However, I think that Qing Tian Yu'er is a promising talent. She is intelligent, quick-witted, and has extraordinary potential. I want to take her under my wing and nurture her carefully. Mingyue, what do you think?"
The illusory figure of the Bright Moon Supreme paused slightly, subconsciously turning his head to look at his disciple Jiu Yue beside him, as if wanting to ask for her opinion—after all, Qing Tian Yu'er had already been internally designated as Jiu Yue's eldest disciple, so he really couldn't make the decision.
But to his utter surprise, before September could even speak, a delicate, soft, and melodious girl's voice rang out from the command platform of Wujiang City below, piercing through the void and reaching everyone's ears: "Grandpa, I'm sorry."
Qing Tian Yu'er raised her small face, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling, and looked at the bald, fat old man in the void. She tilted her head charmingly and said with a smile:
“My husband had told me before that Senior Sister Jiuyue wanted to take me as her disciple. I had already promised her. One must keep one’s word, and in cultivating the eternal path, one cannot break one’s promise. Therefore, I cannot become your disciple.”
As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes lit up, and she stepped forward, giving the bald, fat old man a sweet smile, her tone clever and obedient:
"However, although I can't become your first master, I can become your second master, right? That way, I won't break my promise, and I can still learn skills from you, Grandpa. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"
These words were both clever and appropriate, neither offending the Supreme Being nor failing to keep one's promise, instantly amusing the powerful figures present.
The illusory figure of the Supreme Bright Moon laughed first, his voice gentle and tinged with satisfaction;
Even the tall, thin, and aloof supreme being couldn't help but burst into laughter, looking at the bald, fat old man with a mocking tone: "Hahaha, well said! How can one break their word when cultivating the Eternal Dao? Second Master... you're quite capable, I think so!"
The leader, the benevolent Supreme, smiled and nodded, his gaze towards Qing Tian Yu'er filled with affection and approval—such a clever, quick-witted, and well-mannered little girl was truly rare.
"Hmph, forget it, forget it, you clever little girl!" The bald, fat old man's face turned pale and then red, he glared and puffed out his beard, but he was helpless.
He couldn't possibly get angry with a little girl who was only at the Celestial Immortal Realm. If word got out, wouldn't he lose all face as a Supreme Being?
He could only wave his hand dejectedly, looking like he had been wronged and had nowhere to complain, and said in an annoyed tone, "I have nothing to say, I'll just do as you little brat say!"
Senior Sister Jiuyue, who was standing to the side, was also completely surprised that Qingtian Yu'er was so straightforward, clever, and knew how to behave appropriately. Her words not only resolved the awkwardness but also gave the Supreme a lot of face. She immediately felt a bit of goodwill towards her and her gaze towards Yu'er became even gentler.
Are you kidding me? Her first master is a junior Immortal Emperor, but her second master is a supreme being.
If the bald, fat old man really nodded in front of so many powerful beings at the Eternal Realm, wouldn't that mean he was treating him as an equal?
Such a disparity would surely be the subject of much ridicule from his old friends—though the bald, fat old man was annoyed, he could only accept this "loss".
After this incident, the three supreme beings no longer had the mind to argue about accepting disciples. They exchanged glances, moved slightly, and with a flash of spiritual light around them, they disappeared into the void together, leaving only a faint ripple of the Great Dao. Clearly, they were going to discuss the important matters of the Dao Lord Emperor Pass.
Just before the illusory image of the Supreme Bright Moon was about to dissipate, it slowly turned its head, its gaze gently sweeping over Chen Xuan, Lu Xueqi, and the others. A gratified smile appeared on its lips, and its tone, gentle yet imbued with profound Daoist wisdom, softly instructed:
"Once this matter is settled, and the aftermath of the battlefield and the distribution of rewards are dealt with, you can all return to the sect together."
"Yes, Master!" Chen Xuan, Qiu Zixian, Lu Xueqi, Xia Jiuyou, Dao Yi and the others bowed in unison, their expressions solemn and their tone respectful. Their voices were uniform and resounded through the void, and spiritual light gathered around them, showing their utmost respect for their Master.
This scene was clearly seen and etched into the hearts of all the cultivators participating in the battle in the Flame Dragon Realm.
The disciples of the four sects—Nine Netherworld Holy Land, Yao Guang Holy Land, Jue Qing Holy Land, and Dao Yi Holy Land—could no longer contain their joy. Their cheers swept in like a tsunami, causing the array patterns of Boundless City to glow slightly and even creating fine ripples in the void.
From then on, their sect truly had the support of the powerful Bright Moon Supreme. With the Supreme Daoist Temple as their backing, they no longer needed to fear the suppression of other forces in the Flame Dragon Realm, and their future was bright.
